Geometric contextuality from the Maclachlan-Martin Kleinian groups
Abstract: There are contextual sets of multiple qubits whose commutation is parametrized thanks to the coset geometry $\mathcal{G}$ of a subgroup $H$ of the two-generator free group $G=\left\langle x,y\right\rangle$. One defines geometric contextuality from the discrepancy between the commutativity of cosets on $\mathcal{G}$ and that of quantum observables.It is shown in this paper that Kleinian subgroups $K=\left\langle f,g\right\rangle$ that are non-compact, arithmetic, and generated by two elliptic isometries $f$ and $g$ (the Martin-Maclachlan classification), are appropriate contextuality filters. Standard contextual geometries such as some thin generalized polygons (starting with Mermin's $3 \times 3$ grid) belong to this frame. The Bianchi groups $PSL(2,O_d)$, $d \in {1,3}$ defined over the imaginary quadratic field $O_d=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})$ play a special role.
